2. Summer Maintenance Projects Scheduled for the RPAC Recreation Natatorium
Maintenance and improvement projects have been scheduled in the RPAC Recreation Natatorium from July 2 until September 17, 2010. Summer projects include encapsulation of the air handling ductwork, five-year maintenance on the Class Pool's moveable floor and continued compliance with the Virginia Graeme Baker Act which requires upgrades to existing pool floor drain covers.
These projects will cause each of the three pools in the Recreation Natatorium to be closed and drained for approximately four weeks each, with work in the Class Pool planned during the month of July, work in the Lap Pool during the month of August, and work in the Leisure Pool during the month of September.
Other projects not impacting the availability of pools will also be completed this summer throughout the Aquatic Center including high area cleaning and window cleaning. Ductwork encapsulation and high area painting will also be completed in the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion lobby area.
Exact completion dates are estimated as the length of each project may vary. Every effort will be made to ensure that no more than one of the three pools in the Recreation Natatorium is closed at any given time. Recreational lap swimming and scheduled programs will be relocated to available pools so that they may continue during maintenance.
A detailed listing of recreational swimming locations will be posted and updated throughout the summer on the recreational swimming schedule. Questions regarding summer maintenance or the pool schedule should be referred to Christine Thompson, Director of Aquatics at (614) 247-7370.
3. Red Cross Blood Drive July 7 at McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion – Noon – 6 p.m.
Fourth of July weekend is a time of celebration and fun-filled activities, however, please remember the constant need for blood within our community. The supply of type O-negative blood at the American Red Cross has dropped, as summer trauma season has arrived. Locally in Central Ohio, approximately 100 pints of O-negative blood are used daily for patients.
A person suffering severe injuries in a car accident may need up to 40 units of blood to help save their life. This is a very challenging time for the American Red Cross, so please help us by encouraging eligible donors to make or keep appointments to give blood this summer to help maintain a stable blood supply for ongoing or emergency needs.
To make an appointment, contact Valerie Tiu at tiuv@usa.redcross.org or visit www.redcrossblood.org sponsor look up code: divercoaosu
